Intros and a HEALTHY dessert! Wait? What?

Today I am going to re-introduce us and someone new!  So please hang in there if you are one of our regulars and WELCOME to the new followers!


For those of you new here to the Asylum, I am the Spicy German.  My friend the Saucy Irish and I started this blog at the beginning of the summer to share our Residents (families) favorite recipes and tips.  Saucy is on a journey with her mom right now so she is checking in when able and we are sending her all our love and, as she tells me, pure happiness! 


I am here Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  Saucy gets the other days and we both take Sundays off (a day pass) to be with our Residents!


We do like to warn you that if you stay, you will be given a white jacket with fancy buckles to wear (they buckle in the back)!  There are days we are short and to the point (most of this summer, sorry), but there will be days that we share the hard times at our Asylums. This has become our therapy!  We have an Asylum "table" that we have you pull a chair up to and hang out with us.  We also have an Asylum "Library".  It is where we go to research any of your questions and get you the best answer we can! 


We have a Facebook page that we let you know when there is a new blog and every afternoon we share a saying, picture or quote to put a smile on your face!  So make sure you like our page to get those updates! Click on the Like button and click Get Notifications so you don't miss anything!


Want to know more about us individually?  To the left is a tab called About Us, click it!  I double dog dare you to!  We are pretty awesome, so you want to know more about us!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


OK, on to the fun stuff! Today I want to introduce you to an amazing woman that I met on Facebook!  Her name is Jessy and she has been an inspiration for me!  She is a young woman who has taken on the challenge to become a healthier person, but not lose her personality and her love of life along the way.  She is very encouraging, so if you-like me, need a little extra encouragement or a boost PLEASE go check out her Facebook page-Gaining While Losing!  Take the time to read her About section and see how her journey began and how she has lost 130+ pounds!  If you have a few extra minutes leave her a note and let her know how awesome she is!


When you are done don't forget to come back!  I am sharing her recipe today!  Although you can find it on her Facebook page, but we would love it if you came back and had a seat at the Asylum table!  Hang around and check out all the recipes and tips that Saucy and I have for you!




Skinny Peach Cobbler
Jessy at Gaining While Losing


1 bag peaches or sliced fresh
cinnamon to taste
1 can Sprite or Dt. 7UP
1 Sugar free Yellow Cake mix


Combine ingredients.  She doesn't give specifics, but I would guess that you are replacing the liquid of the cake mix with the soda. 


This looks so yummy and I would imagine you can use strawberries, or blueberries!  Or a combination like the  healthy Ambrosia I shared with you the other day! 


Irony kicks in here!  She shares this recipe on the day I have chosen to give up soda!  I am thinking it doesn't count when you are using it to bake with though.  What do you think?
